I Can't Hear You

Like the ticking clock
 You will not stop
 You will not yield
 You will not drop
 Time and again
 There is no end
 You try it on
 But I can't pretend
 Like an infection
 Avoiding correction
 There is no change
 Just changed direction
 Yes, like a disease
 No cure can appease
 No one can watch
 But everyone sees
 I can't hear you
 It's always the same
 It's always the same
 When is the time that you will not lie to me
 Never lie to me, never lie to me
 I can't feel you
 Things will never change
 Things will never change
 When is the time to call in the cavalry
 It's for you not me, you not me
 Further to fool
 Deceit is your fuel
 Smile on your face
 Outlook so cool
 Mirrors and smoke
 Stories and jokes
 They keep you alive
 But just make me choke
 The cackling clown
 He just won't drown
 Hands round his neck
 But he won't go down
 Misspent career
 So insincere
 You open your mouth
 But I must shut my ears
 I can't hear you
 I can't hear
 It's always the same
 It's always the same
 When is the time that you will not lie to me
 Never lie to me, never lie to me
 I can't feel you
 Things will never change
 No they'll never change
 When is the time to call in the cavalry
 It's for you not me, you not me
 you not me
 you not me
 Don't you lie
 Don't you lie
 When your lips open
 Your secrets your lies
 They come out like flies
 Your secrets are lies
 Your secrets your lies
 They come out like flies
 Your secrets and your lies
 They come out like flies
 Your secrets your lies
 They come out like flies
 Your secrets your lies
 They come out like flies
 Don't you lie
